A poll seemed to be needed! Apologies to the first voters - I made this sticky and it wiped the poll!
[Poll]How do you see yourself listening to music in the future?
You may need to review your choices - the questions have changed places!!! π³
I cannot seem to find how to change my previous vote!! How can i change this?
Hi Peter - Good poll.
However, could I suggest an obvious omission in future options, I have a line output from a computer that gets onto my Beolink through an aux, and so can listen to Itunes / spotify / iplayer etc etc in the bath/garden/kitchen etc .
BUT - I don't feel the need for a Beoport - long playlists on shuffle, or a specific radio programme are fine to just "send" to the B&O kit, and I'm sure many others will do just that - ie, "listen" to a computer output , but with no beo-control.
Also, I don't see new digital media as exclusively replacing by Bsnd9000 for CD's, or my bepgram for LP's ( having about 4500 "hard copies across cd and LP formats) but MOST of my "casual" background listening is via spotify, or the bbc website.
As I understand it, using a CD in a computer via Bsnd 5 is cumbersome and with little feedback ...you really have to load it into a media player ...shame.
Currently working through old editions of "In Our Time" on iplayer when in the bath :-)
So maybe you need a category along the lines of
"In future I will stream music online, and use my Beolink/Beolabs/Beovision to enjoy optimum sound quality, whilst retaining my "hard" copies on CD/LP"
AND before anyone mentions it, I know "Optimum Sound Quality" and streamed music aren't always possible - but via Beolabs, its still better than not through beolabs, and hearing a spotify playlist in the garden is a time of deep joy, for some reason....
That said, last week I got four shiny new LP's from the excellent properganda website - stunning artwork, stunning sound!!!
Oh, great. Now I apparently voted "use my computer and a beoport".
Bad form, changing the poll questions like that.
On the Bahama's :-) :-)
πππ Great to have the poll back! π€ Anyway, airport for now, might get A Beosound 5 / Encore or another digital B&O product in the future.
How do you see yourself listening to music in the future?

Hey Beocool. What is your current set up.
I have been thinking about this a lot recently. Where is my set up going to be in the future and how will I be playing music in 5 years. The Beosound Encore seems like the best option but the price and lack of support worries me at this time. Waiting game for me!
I thought the real answer was you can't, because the future hasn't happened yet π

But seriously second hand, for the short term!!!
